“78.4% of textile companies said that orders are decreasing, and 64.8% of textile companies reported that orders have been canceled by customers…” This is a recent survey report from a textile city. The statistical data may be specific to each textile person. Orders for hundreds of thousands or millions of meters have disappeared. Customers have been out of contact for several months, and there is no information about samples and quotations. Reduced or even canceled orders are a crisis that all textile workers need to face today.
As an important link in the textile industry chain, dyeing factories are always the first to notice changes in orders in the textile market. Once there are more textile orders, all kinds of warehouse explosions and jams will immediately appear, and dyeing fees will also increase, etc.; but if the orders decrease, the machinery and equipment in the dyeing factory will stop working, and workers will take turns to take turns. . However, the recent performance of dyeing factories seems to be slightly different from the current situation where all textile workers are shouting “order cancelled”.
“Because not all workers are in place, the current production capacity in the factory is around 90%, and the order processing time in the factory is around 10 days.” “The dye vats in our factory are fully open. Orders are relatively stable, and it usually takes 3-4 days to press the card. “The factory’s production capacity is currently at full capacity, and the card pressing can be done without coming in.”…
It seems to be the norm for the machines and equipment in the dyeing factory to be fully operational. , queues for pressing cards can also be seen everywhere. But what if the promised orders are canceled on a large scale? It is said that domestic trade is not prosperous, but what about foreign trade?
Reduced spring and summer fabrics
Overdraft of autumn and winter orders
The textile market in the first half of the year reached a peak in March and April, and during this period, spring and summer clothing fabrics were the main products. In particular, imitation silk products have always been a “cash cow” for textile people during this period. However, it is now difficult to see spring and summer clothing fabrics such as imitation silk products in dyeing factories. Instead, stretch fabrics, T400, nylon, polyester taffeta, pongee and other fabrics suitable for autumn and winter clothing are popular. .
In previous years, most of these products only started to gain momentum in the second half of the year, or even towards the end of the year, but the current textile market is full of these products. Is there a possibility that autumn and winter fabric orders have been brought forward, and some textile workers are overdrafting future orders?
Shorten the card pressing time
Order The quantity is not as good as the previous period
The “pressing time” can indeed reflect the busyness of the dyeing factory to a certain extent, but you cannot assume that the dyeing factory must be busy just because you hear “pressing”, or that Always busy.
Among the dyeing factories mentioned above, one experienced a jam for about 10 days. In fact, it has a lot to do with their shortage of workers and limited production capacity. Moreover, their order volume has been relatively low compared to the beginning of the operation. It dropped by nearly 30%. Another company’s processing time was 3-4 days. You must know that half a month ago, their processing time was more than a week.
Many other dyeing factories that are still operating at full capacity have also experienced a decline in order volume to varying degrees, and they are basically more than 20%. Compared with when there was no pressing and the gray fabric could be made as soon as it came, the dyeing factory is busy now. However, compared with the production status that has just resumed after the year, it is already not as good as before.
The order was canceled midway
The goods were dyed but not picked up
In fact, various reductions and cancellations of orders are a real thing in the textile market. Especially for those gray fabric orders that were canceled halfway, most of them have already entered the factory, and various pre-processing has been carried out. Canceled but still produced in the dyeing factory, this is the “contradictory state” of these orders. Because if the pre-treated fabric is not made into finished products in time, the fabric itself will be damaged. Therefore, these orders that are no longer in demand can only be processed passively.
But if the dyeing factory simply immerses itself in processing the order, can it “stay out of it” and collect dyeing fees? This is obviously a good idea. Generally, once a customer order is canceled midway, most companies will change the fabric to white in anticipation of other uses later. However, these canceled orders often have little customer demand for a long time, especially in the current textile market.
Therefore, many textile workers choose not to pick up the goods, but let the finished products pile up in the dyeing factory warehouse. Because you don’t need to pay the dyeing fee if you don’t pick up the goods, some companies will even give up the goods directly because the dyeing fee is higher than the price of the gray fabric. Some of the busy production in the dyehouse may be in vain.
The current scenes of crowding, queuing, and jamming in dyeing factories can mostly be regarded as an “illusion.” Orders for spring and summer fabrics that should appear at the current time point are almost extinct, which can only overdraw the future market. But when should dyeing factories produce fabric orders in the second half of the year? Moreover, the current market situation is not only incomparable with previous years, but also compared with the beginning of the resumption of work. The most important point is that many canceled orders are still being processed by dyeing factories. These orders…It is difficult to translate into actual income for dyeing factories. </p
